Annual international gathering: 10-12 September 2010, England	11:38 PM, May 22 2010
Vigil of Pentecost, 22 May 2010 Dear Juventutem Friends, Cordial greetings to all of you worldwide! 4^th Anniversary: In two days, on May 24^th, I invite you to pray for our Federation International Juventutem which will be… four years old. It is normally the Feast of Our Lady Help of Christians. But this year the Monday after Pentecost will take precedence. For that reason, I have offered yesterday a Votive Mass of Our Lady Help of Christians at all your and our intentions as members or supporters of Juventutem. Pilgrimage: Just I write to you and all along this week-end of Pentecost, some Juventutem members from France, Italy and other countries are walking from Paris to Chartres in France as part of the famous Pilgrimage of Christendom – the largest Extraordinary Form event in the world every year with 8,000 persons walking 70 miles in 2 ½ days. Let us pray for them, and we can be sure they pray for us also. Deceased supporters: I am sorry to announce to you the death in Bern, Switzerland, of two benefactors of our Federation. Mrs Marie Vogel tragically died on 3 January 2010 after a fire in her building. Also in Bern, Mr Heinz Müller died of cancer in hospital on 19 April 2010. Those who attended our International Gathering in Bern last year and in 2008 will have met him then. Please remember them in your prayers. Requiescant in pace. New contacts: Request for founding groups in Canada and the U.S.A. were sent to us. It is good to see interest various places in North America. We are sorry for the delays in dealing with the request. We hope to have more regular contacts in the future. Annual international meeting: 10-12 September 2010, England Our annual meeting 2010 will not take place in Bern, Switzerland but in Douai Abbey, England. Like in 2009 and 2008, we hope that as many representatives as possible will be able to come. Douai Abbey is located 30mn from Reading, the base of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter in England. It is also 1h south of Oxford and two hours west from London. A good location to visit places of interest in England, starting with places associated with our Catholic faith, such as the martyrs of Oxford, the place of the gallows Tyburn in London or the monument to Saint Thomas More. Also, the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI will be in England a couple of days after our week-end (16-19 September 2010). If you come from a distance, why not plan to stay longer and attend at least the Prayer Vigil in Hyde Park, London on Saturday 18^th September 2010? Accommodation could possibly be worked out for you.

Juventutem Christchurch Who is Juventutem Christchurch? Juventutem Christchurch was formed in early AD2008 with the support of Bishop Barry Jones and under the guidance of Bishop Emeritus Basil Meeking (ecclesiastical patron of Juventutem Australia). The name is taken from Psalm 42 which opens the traditional Mass: “I will go to the altar of God, to God the joy of my youth (juventutem)” Juventutem Christchurch has come about as fruit of the World Youth Days in Cologne 2005 and in Sydney 2008. Our Aims We wish to promote and deepen knowledge of the traditional liturgy of the Catholic Church. We are interested in engaging, (even for the first time), Catholics and other Christians who want to know more about the Church’s liturgical heritage. Our motivation comes form Pope Benedict’s liberalisation of the traditional Mass with his Motu Proprio, “Summon Pontificum”. The Christchurch Diocese has taken up Pope Benedict’s invitation and daily Mass is offered in the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament, Barbadoes Street, Christchurch. A Saturday Vigil and Sunday Mass are offered. Juventutem Christchurch provides catechesis, lectures and practical workshops in aspects of the extraordinary form of the Mass. It is hoped such catechesis will assist those wishing to access Mass in the extraordinary form. Who is Bishop Emeritus Basil Meeking? Click here to find out more about Bishop Basil Who is Fr. Define FSSP? Fr Define is the Provincial Superior of the Fraternity of St Peter. He resides in Sydney and is visiting Christchurch relieving for Fr John Rizzo.

WYD Madrid, Spain	1:34 PM, Jul 20 2008
This morning after Mass at Randwick, the Holy Father has confirmed an unofficial statement made 6 months ago by a prominent Church official to a Spanish member of the International Juventutem Federation, i.e. the next WYD will take place in Madrid, Spain, in 2011. Already in November 2007 Juventutem representatives have started making plans for this big event. There will first be one week in the Spanish countryside with a full program of doctrinal lectures, excursions and liturgies for all youths inscribed with Juventutem. The second week will take place in Madrid with beautiful Masses following catechesis by bishops and fruitful meetings with other youths. It will be the third time Juventutem partakes in WYD and we believe we now have quite good experience of how to plan things. Also, Church authorities have manifested to us their support again in Sydney and we know that the Roman traditions of the Church are likely to be more and more welcome in the coming years. The following prelates have partaken in the Juventutem program in Australia: Bishop Meeking, Bishop Elliot, Bishop Jarret, Archbishop Hart, Cardinal George, Cardinal Pell, Cardinal Zen. Juventutem is ready to serve according to its charism - the sanctification of youths according to the Roman traditions of the Church. Our heartfelt thanks to the Juventutem organisers and to all the volunteers and staff of WYD 2008, as well to the cardinals, bishops and priests who accompanied us, and lastly, a most grateful and loving thank you to our dear Holy Father Pope Benedict for his presence and for his deep and paternal words to all of us youths!
